i'm also wondering what kind of pads, but I am about to buy new rotors and rotorpros has the best price, but are they good quality? (seeing as you have them in your hand)

cool, thanks for the info...with the pads, i'd recommend the axxis ultimates if your looking for a recommendation - they seem superior to any others i've seen

Was that 180 for all four? Or 180 a pair?

Those look sweet...and the site says you can even get them in black or gold.

install is easy for a brake job. sometimes the rotors are stuck because rust builds up on the hub. you'll need two 8mm screws (i forgot the thread pitch) to pop them off. the screws go in the holes found on the stock rotor. i changed my rotors at 14K miles and they were rusted on tight.
i noticed these rotorpros dont have the holes, so hopefully the dont get stuck over time.

when replacing your rotors, spread a little anti-seize on the surfaces between the rotor and the hub and you'll never have to worry whether your rotors will come back off!

and might I recommend hawk hp pads? pretty good pads, but heat might be an issue if the rotors aren't that great, so I hear. (ie. you might warp cheap ones)

I would hope you dont have heat problems on a drilled and slotted rotor!

I hope the slots and the drills are there to achieve greater performance, and not make it as good as oem + looks.

ideally that's true. I'm just saying that $180 for all 4 could mean a great deal, or cheap no-name blanks with some holes/slots. I'm not saying they're cheap at all because I don't know, but I'd like to hear from someone who has experience with the brand. All I'm saying is that slots and holes don't = good rotors, and adding some good, high-friction pads can still cause them to warp or crack. plenty of cheaper d/s rotors are only made for looks, not high performance braking.

edit: after checking out their website, they do sound like decent rotors, for whatever the manufacturer's opinion is worth.

I'm getting ready to order some rotors and i'd want to order the rotorpros but nobody seems to know whether they are good or not! There are no reviews on em out there... thicker/thinner than oem, better quality, etc...i don't know
